Bathgate station
Rail passenger services to the busy town of Bathgate were withdrawn as early as 1956 but in 2010 the present station was opened when the line to Airdrie was reinstated and electrified: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathgate_railway_station .

Bathgate railway station, Lothian
Opened in 2010 by Network Rail on the line from Edinburgh to Airdrie, this effectively became Bathgate's fourth station on this line, replacing the 1986 terminus station (

Bathgate Yard, with collection of elderly 0-6-0s, 1962
The view is probably SW from the Edinburgh Road, with the Loco Shed and the earlier Bathgate Upper station off to the left. All is so utterly different now, with the original station, on the ex-NBR Glasgow - Airdrie - Bathgate - Edinburgh line closed with the whole route east of Drumgelloch (formerly Clarkston) and Airdrie from 9/1/56. Thirty years later, a new Bathgate station was built nearer the town and opened, along with the restoration of a passenger service to Edinburgh, on 24/3/86. More recently, on 18/10/10, yet another replacement Bathgate station was opened, ready for the complete restoration, now electrified, of the whole route through to Airdrie and Glasgow (North Clyde Lines). At least three ex-NBR Class J36 0-6-0s (Nos. 65265/77 and 65341) feature. [I apologise for the poor quality of this photograph and I also admit to being a little uncertain of its precise location].
